An Alarming Discovery in Metformin According to the American Chemical... 1/15/2021 6:59:17 PM
by Rebecca Webber Starting to freak out because you're still single? Inhale through your nose; exhale through your mouth and relax. There are lots of reasons it might actually be better for you to find your true love when you're well past your 20s. These days, plenty of people date and don't get married until they are in their 30s, 40s or beyond. While you won't get to spend the hard-partying years with your mate and... 1/15/2021 8:00:00 AM

We want to be good people who care about others so we wear masks to protect them. There are whole PSAs built on "protecting grandma." And it's true that they do protect others.

So we already know that our friends have an influence... 1/15/2021 8:00:00 AM

by Harriet Cabelly We get knocked off center; the rug is pulled out from under us; we get slammed by a curveball out of left field; our life drastically changes, and now what? A sudden break-up, an expected divorce finally becomes official, an unexpected diagnosis, a baby born with life-long issues, an empty-nest home – these are some of the many life challenges that can be considered a loss and therefore necessitate... 1/13/2021 8:00:00 AM
by Wellness Editor Bitters are something most of us leave to the bartenders. A little dash makes that cocktail just right. But bitters have long had a strong connection to human health. And one in particular, which may seem like it's found behind the bar, actually isn't. We were curious about this little unheard of gem, and how it might benefit health. Swedish Bitters Swedish bitters, also sometimes called Swedish tincture,... 1/5/2021 8:00:00 AM
by Wellness Editor Whew! The year is complete, and we’ve almost stopped spinning in the aftermath of the election and the holidays and everything else that stacked up at the end of the year. After weeks of planning, shopping, cleaning, cooking, scheduling, table-setting, feasting, celebrating and toasting, it might feel like a relief for some of us or a let-down for others. Now we can implement a post-holiday wellness... 1/4/2021 8:00:00 AM
